At least we dont have to sit through 2 hours of Tom Cruise and that annoying 10 yr old Kirsten "Dunce." Stuart Townsend is okay as Lestat (anyone else get Crow-like Brandon Lee vibes besides me?). I know I'll probably draw a lot of flack for this (especially after what happened to her), but I don't think Aaliyah was very convincing as Akasha. She's a fine actress-- i like her in Romeo must die-- but here I just didn't get the POWER feeling from her as I did from Akasha while reading the book. The movie actually suffers (IMHO) for deleted the scenes that are available on the DVD. They provided substance lacking from the editted release. I realize no production of these novels will satisfy everyone, but lets hope Rices The Mummy will provide better fare. 6.5 out of 10

It rocks man! Perfect stuff to put on the tv screen with the sound off and play comething on the stereo! The images seem to go with any music! The city scapes look like Blade Runner. It's better than that stuff in Lawnmower Man! Lots of emryo-like images...

Totally awesome! Every scene a visual eye-scape. Totally surprise ending that shocks all my friends when I make them watch it. Vivian Wu is awesome as usual, and this is the only movie besides Trainspotting i can stand Ewan MacGregor in. Greenaway rocks! Let's give this guy control of ALL of Hollywood!
